I have a poster of this in my living room.
[QUOTE=Fetret;21819190]It was full of demos that I played over and over and many great games. I recall there were some educational interactive applications that came on CDs, such as "Speed" and the greatest painting program ever "Kidpix". Floppy disks were around, a magnet meant doom and TV shows were great.
The Adventures of Pete and Pete is yet to be topped.
A 50-100MB file to download meant you had to keep your PC on overnight and your phoneline busy.
All in all I feel everything meant so much more back then, especially technology-wise. Everything was new and so you didn't get bored of things, games were new and shiny, even the dumbest thing seemed full of wonder. You weren't swamped with information and technology like we are now.
I think it was much more fun, but hey past is always better than the present right?[/QUOTE]
kidpix was fucking amazing
I remember the late 90's it was awesome. Spongebob.

Spongebob could be considered more early 2000's, It never even started properly till halfway through 1999.

I did not precisely manage to get myself into the very core of the decade, but it was amazing even with my remotely sheltered existence in Russia. Even recieving a fraction of the "standard definition of the 90's" was a very tasty treat. It is also important to note that USSR collapsed in 1992, precisely the year I was born in, I barely escaped it, even though apparently Gorbachev was a pretty good guy.
I was born in Feb 91, but I'll post a few quotes or things I remember from the 90's:
My uncle gave me an old laptop, "It won't run windows 98 I've tried, but it'll run 95".
Billie Piper did things because she wanted to. I said something about that song to a 16 year old the other day and they didn't get the reference, c'est la vie. Also, B*Witched.
Getting some mysterious friend of your dads to 'chip' the playstation, who somehow manage to sell you copied games for a fiver! CD burners were like high tech cutting edge equipment, when you got one you'd burn a load of songs you'd downloaded off KaZaa to a cd and smugly ask your friends if they wanted a copied cd from you. Which reminds me: You wouldn't have thought the So Solid Crew were anything to laugh at. I think that might be really early 2000's though.
Speaking of that, actually having 9/11 as a memory in you're head and you weren't just told about it.
Oh and supercheats.com and downloading miniclip games on to the school computers. That's pretty much the 90s for me.
lol
The birth of Wavelab, Vegas, and audio mixing in general.
Early 2000s but basically:

I remember:
1: being woken up by a huge explosion.
2: Looking out my apartment window thinking, Oh SHIT.
3: seeing plane number 2 crash.
4: Step 2 repeted
5: 2 hundred billion hours later first tower falls
6: Smoke, rubble, smoke.
7: getting the hell outta there
8: second tower falls.
9: more smoke.
10: running some more
11: moving to Houston
I loved the 90's. These days you can't do a thing without being sued or getting frowned upon.
Pretty much one of the best decades, for the US anyway. It's up there with the 50s and 20s.
As others have said, being born in 1988 meant that my entire elementary school days were spent in the 90's. Everyone played outside, with friends, we would go biking, hiking, or on camping trips. Now kids go right to the computer or video game console when they get home from school, and rarely go outside.
I also never had a cell phone until 9th grade, never needed it. I remember using AIM and creating cool sub-profiles. We didn't even have a computer until 4th or 5th grade.
Oh yeah, and walkie talkies. Use to have a couple friends over and use them while running around in the woods.

Oh yeah, and there was Home Improvement.

The fucking internet, i remember having to use dial up for ages and Netscape. Most of you people don't even know what Netscape is.
Fucking AOL everywhere up in this bitch, i still hate AOL today.
I remembered when quality movies and shows where made, not the shit that comes out today.
My fondest memories of the 90's though where when i lived in Sicily, man i loved that place.
I could make a huge list, but it would make me a sad panda.

I know that sound so well. My grandparents still have dial-up. They're unable to get wireless/high-speed.

Most of us are too young to remember the 90s, face it guys. It probably sucked just as bad if not worse than today.

The 90's for me were mostly spent on a junkyard behind the estate where we live.
Other things I remember include:
Saved by the bell
Purple black and navy tracksuits
Playstation 1
McDonalds
Full metal Jacket
Spice Girls
Rave Culture (I wasn't old enough at the time but I lived with my older cousin)

The 90's were the shit. Everything was just plain awesome. Hell, back then you could get a mortgage loan by just having a job. Now you have to have all this shit like a super credit score and a good asset/debt ratio and all that other junk. The best shows ever were on TV like Pokemon and all that other stuff that we used to watch. I didn't watch much TV as a kid, but I remember stuff like Little Bear and Pokemon, Digimon, Beast Wars/Machines and all that other quality stuff. Now it's just crazy shit like Fairly Odd Parents and other junk that no one in their right mind would want to watch.
Things were much simpler in the 90's. You'd buy a computer and it wouldn't be a slow ass piece of shit 6 months after you bought it. The clerk at the register wouldn't sit there like a dumb ass if the computer broke. They'd write it down and get you out the door! Now you're stuck sitting there for a year while they call a manager to say "push this button" and shit.
Back in the 90's, all you needed was a big TV. Now you've gotta have a big TV with a 16:9 aspect ratio, a good contrast ratio, 1080p and all this other shit. If you don't, your TV is a pile of shit and you should be ashamed of yourself. Or at least that's how the world sees it.
People didn't do all this Facebook/MySpace shit back then. They actually communicated with one another. Nowadays, people text to each other when they're in the same room!
And best of all, it didn't cost half a million dollars to get a decent house that didn't have holes in the roof and shit being spewed out of the toilet every time you tried to flush.
[QUOTE=nitsua;22025858]Everything was just plain awesome. Hell, back then you could get a mortgage loan by just having a job.[/quote] Which is partly what got us into this shit.[quote]Pokemon, Digimon.. and all that other quality stuff.[/QUOTE]
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAno
90% of cartoons were enjoyable, unlike today, and no I don't have nostalgia goggles, or "cartoons are for kids" cartoons were god damn gold compared to the crap they crank out nowadays.
The internet was awesome in the 90s, then you kids came and ruined everything.
